So the Koryo hotel catches fire and the Koryolink internet service goes down.
I wonder if there is a connection here somewhere?

Has the US declared war on ISIS/ISIL? I know it's a moot point but I'd like to know. Obama has asked congress for some sort of declaration on the 12th June but I'm unsure of the previous status.
So by facilitating (in any manner) assistance for the enemy in a war not legally declared, is illegal?
Last time this happened was the police action against North Vietnam.

Quantity Surveyors are one of the highest paid. Go for that.

Ahhh Hello Ethan :) Want to explain why the universe is big, I mean REALLY big?

That is logical and reasonable. The serious question for me is the level of intelligence within this conspiracy of intelligence organisations.
This is not a movie but real life. If anything is compromised then plan B comes into effect that is IF there is a plan B. I can't imagine under any circumstances that affected organisations just sat there doing nothing. Otherwise they are truly fucking clowns.
And as for Snowden, he is a hero because he confirmed everything that was suspected but never proven. The conspiracy theory isn't a theory anymore. It is real and that is just too hard for some people to get it into their heads.
So where is the Mycroft Holmes here? Does anyone like that exist at all? Just by the timing and method of the 'shock and awe' attacks on Baghdad shows how little intelligence there was. I hope that they've lifted their game or we are being run by fucking clowns.

Looks like it replaced the esc key.
Now what?

It's not a big deal. More likely that the blogger is making it a more significant than it really is.
A. Skype isn't going away: New EULA coming up in August 1st to bring it in-line with Win 10.
B. Windows Phone Skype won't go away either.
C. It's only the RT version that's being canned. No big deal and there will probably be other RT stuff canned.

Octo (a nickname) was born on the 8/8/88. Totally meaningless otherwise except for the epithet.

Sure. Isometric grid paper is a great thing to have around to teach 2d and 3d construction, geometry and can be very creative. Like lego blocks on paper.
I prefer the dot only type.

Hahahaha! Made my day. Thanks.

Our neighbours over the ditch (Australia) have just had their government cut funding for renewables because windfarms are ugly and noisy (in favour of coal).
Someone said that there's 300 years of coal and natural gas supplies. The newer power stations are gas fired though.

The only actor who could act without acting. I always believed his roles. He had such gravitas.
